"Then, he fell down rapidly, his ears filled with the sound of whistling wind, the cliff seemed to rise from the ground, he saw the blue sky and white clouds fleeing his sight at flying speed, and finally, he fell heavily into a rushing river, it felt like a huge bluestone slab suddenly smashed like you, his eyes went black, and then he lost consciousness.

"And then?"

"When he woke up, it was five days later."

"Did anyone save him?"

"Yes, the person who saved him was the girl's father."

"So, the one he rescued before was not the girl's father, but a fake liar?"

"That's right."

He finally ended his long story, looking up at the starry sky, the bright and vast galaxy was as quiet as water, and the moonlight was as clear as jade, just like the poem he often recited when he was a child: I don't know the moon when I was a child, and I call it a white jade plate.

"Is the story over?" The girl in red beside him looked at him quietly.

"It's over, it's not over yet, because a new story is about to begin." He whispered.

They sat quietly on a wooden cart, the surface of which was piled up with a thick layer of hay, finely rolled into bundles with hemp rope, and stacked on the board in an orderly manner.

The girl is very young, and her face is innocent and innocent. She looked at him quietly, as if he were a fantasy character from a distant Divine Mountain Immortal Mansion.

"Hey, Qiu Luan, why do you always wear this dark mask?" She asked suddenly.

The man slowly turned his face and looked at her with some surprise, the curiosity in her eyes was very strong, as if she was eager to spy on the face behind his mask.

He let out a long sigh and turned his face away: "I look ugly, so I need to wear a mask." ”

"Impossible." The girl suddenly leaned her face closer: "You can't be ugly, I don't believe it." ”

Obviously, she was not satisfied with the answer given by Qiu Luan, because she noticed Qiu Luan's bright and clear eyes, which were beautiful, indescribably beautiful. Qiu Luan also has a thin jaw, vermilion lips, and fair skin. The contours, the edges, the lines are extremely harmonious. Only half of his face is revealed, and he is already so seductive, and if he reveals his whole face, he is afraid that it will make people feel terrified.

"My face was wounded, and I had a long, ugly scar." He said.

"Let me see." She was so curious that she reached out to grab his mask, and Qiu Luan dodged it, her hand fluttering into the air, and she didn't even touch the edge of the mask.

The girl was a little disappointed, sat aside dissatisfied, and withdrew her hand to ignore him.

He saw that she was angry, but his face was still indifferent, and he jumped out of the car and prepared to leave.

When she saw that he was not coaxing, but was leaving, she became more and more angry.

"Hey, Qiu Luan!" She chased him out, stretching out her arms to block his way: "Why are you like this?" ”

He pursed his lips and did not speak, his eyes revealing the melancholy detachment that fascinated her.

Seeing that he didn't speak, she was a little scared, and looked at him cautiously: "Are you angry?" ”

"Nope." He replied categorically.

"No way, you must be angry, otherwise why ignore people?" She was like a stumbling rope that wanted to cross in front of him.

"Second Miss, what are you stopping me from doing?"

She is a little ashamed, she is a girl, how can she put down her face to apologize to others? But looking at his indifferent appearance, he seemed to be really angry.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know this mask was so important to you." She kept her head down, her voice barely audible.

"What?" He was stunned for a moment.

"I ...... I don't mean anything malicious, I'm just curious about you. She whispered.

He stared at her, his gaze was so cold, maybe he was used to being curious, from the day he came to Xu Yongchang's barracks, from the time he was made an exception to be named a deputy general, from the first time he appeared in front of those battle-hardened generals with a mask, he was looked at many times by countless curious eyes.

The men's curiosity does not last, and it will pass after a few days of familiarity, but the girl in front of him made him a little flustered.

She is Xu Yongchang's youngest daughter, only thirteen or fourteen years old, and an ignorant girl is indeed very curious about people, but her identity! They were different, so how could she be curious about him?

Qiu Luan didn't speak, just raised his head slightly.

She looked at him again and gently tugged at a saber at her waist: "Don't be angry, okay?" I promise you that I will never take off your mask again without permission. ”

He finally nodded as if compromising, "All right," he said, "but I'm not angry." ”

She looked at him stupidly, and after a while, she asked again, "Does the girl know that her lover is not dead?" ”

Qiu Luan was stunned for a moment, she smiled and said, "It's the story you just told." ”

He shook his head.

"Don't know?" A layer of loss suddenly appeared on her face: "Why didn't the lover write to tell her?" Since she is still alive, since she still has her in her heart. ”

"He can't." He said categorically.

She hesitated for a long time, then asked tentatively, "Are you talking about your own story?" ”

He glanced at her, ignored her, turned and walked away, leaving her alone and shouting desperately, "Hey, you haven't told me yet!" How do you do that? Only half the story? ”

Qiu Luan returned to the tent and saw Xu Yongchang waiting there, he lowered the curtain of the tent with his backhand, untied his sword and put it on the table. When Xu Yongchang saw him sit down, he clasped his hands into fists and saluted him very respectfully.

He glanced at Xu Yongchang and said, "Didn't you say it?" I'm just Qiu Luan now, your lieutenant. ”

Xu Yongchang smiled: "Yes, but the last general is not used to it for a while." ”

He finally reached into his hair and took off his dark mask with a tired gold trim.

"Hasn't the body of the eldest lady been found yet?" He asked in a low voice.

Xu Yongchang pursed his lips, sat down opposite him, and nodded with some sighs.

"She's a good girl." He looked at Xu Yongchang: "You are a loyal minister." ”

Xu Yongchang smiled happily, he looked at Xu Yongchang quietly, but unexpectedly read a trace of shame from the face of this iron-blooded general. Xu Yongchang bowed slightly, and said softly: "Repay the king's intention on the golden platform, and carry the jade dragon to die for the king." ”

"I will not forget your loyalty." He stretched out his hand and patted the back of Xu Yongchang's hand: "Send more details to find it, and you will definitely be able to find Yuyin's burial place." ”

As they were talking, they heard the voice of a little girl outside the tent: "Why can't you go in?" I am the second lady of the Xu family, and my father is a general, how dare you stop me? ”

He glanced at Xu Yongchang, put the mask back on his face, and then he was Qiu Luan again.

"Let her in!" He shouted at the guards at the door.

A pretty red walked briskly into the tent, and the moment her eyes met Xu Yongchang, her bright gaze dimmed in an instant, and her steps became slow and heavy.

"Daddy," she bowed her head, "why are you here?" ”

Xu Yongchang's face was solemn, and he scolded: "You uncompetitive girl, you don't rest in your camp in the middle of the night, what are you doing here with General Qiu?" ”

Qiu Luan didn't make a sound, just silently drank a cup of tea.

The little girl flattened her mouth: "Dad, I don't want to do anything." ”

"Presumptuous!" Xu Yongchang took the case, and he took a few turns in the tent: "Yujing, you wild girl, I spoiled you, and you don't look like a lady at all!" ”

"Dad, you're here again!" She was suddenly a little surprised, as if Xu Yongchang inadvertently poked the sore spot in her heart.

"What's coming again?" Xu Yongchang glared at her: "It should be that you have made the old mistake of unruly again!" ”

"Daddy!" She called out mournfully: "Don't say it again! ”

She was anxious to get her father to stop the topic of wild girls having no rules, and in her anxiety, she didn't care that the other party was her father. As soon as the words came out, she regretted it, he was his father, he was the high-ranking General Xu, how could he listen to her and shut up?

Sure enough, her words became a spark that ignited the barrel of the cannon, and Xu Yongchang's eyebrows suddenly rose: "Yujing!" What are you talking about? Who taught you to speak like this to your father? Is this the manners, words and deeds that everyone should have? You wild girl! ”

"Yes!" Her face suddenly turned red, and the grievances in her heart seemed to reach its peak in an instant, and she cried and shouted to him: "I'm not a lady in the first place!" I'm a wild girl! I know you have to say it hundreds of times a day, but do you have to disgrace me in front of General Qiu? ”

She covered her face and strode out, Xu Yongchang was stunned, looked at Qiu Luan, and then looked at the door.

"It's just a child's playfulness, why did you suddenly lose your temper so much?" Qiu Luan looked at Xu Yongchang.

Xu Yongchang was stunned, he didn't know what to say for a while, he was used to scolding her like this, and he couldn't help it today, those words had been said very smoothly, almost blurted out.

"Why don't you chase it? What if I run away? Qiu Luan stood up and took Xu Yongchang with him: "Let's go, let's go separately." ”

Qiu Luan shook around the barracks a few times, asked the soldiers guarding the camp gate, and made sure that she didn't run out angry, and finally felt more at ease.

The camp was very large, and there were 100,000 elite soldiers led by Xu Yongchang and Luo Ru respectively. It is indeed not easy to find a little girl from so many military tents, but as long as you look up at the reckless barren mountains not far away, you will feel that it is more convenient to find someone in the camp.

He walked until the moon was dark and the sky was white, and he found her under a hay cart near the stables.

"Second Miss, why are you hiding here?" He waved at her and tried to pull her out from under the car.

Her body was small, shrunk into a red ball, like a frightened little fox. She listened to him and slowly climbed out from under the car, tears still on her face. Qiu Luan took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to her, she took it, and wiped her face stubbornly.

"What's wrong with you? General Xu just said two words to you, why did you suddenly run away? As he spoke, Wen Ran smiled: "Let's go, General Xu has been looking for you for a long time, and if you don't go back, he will be in a hurry." ”

He hesitated for a moment, but reached out to pull her, but she dodged it.

"What's wrong?" He looked at her in amazement.
